Israelis held hostage in Gaza - part 4

[StillHELDhostage4]

New thread.

Went to post on thread 3 and it's full.

Sad 4th thread and hostages still held by Hamas and others.

Glad Noa's mother was able to see her before she died.

Hopefully others will be released or rescued soon.

From Haaretz ( Israeli newspaper)

I was not sure which thread to put this news on. It is not directly about hostages but it is about the families of the young female IDF border spotters demanding an investigation into 0ct 7 which was disastrous for them, with many killed and others still held as hostages nine months later.

Though they had tried to warn an attack was imminent, they were ignored, and were also unprotected. We have all seen the awful body cam video of them being captured and herded on Oct 7. They were not released with other women in December. Their state cannot be imagined, and it must be terrible for their parents too.

HOSTAGES/CEASE-FIRE: Parents of the IDF spotters who were killed and kidnapped at the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7 said at a press conference outside the Defense Ministry's HQ in Tel Aviv that they intend to "take public action" in the next days, and "fight until a state investigation committee is established," after PM Netanyahu failed to reply to their request for a meeting. "We are invisible like our daughters' reports on October 7," the said.

It is a mercy they could see each other before she died. How sad it must be now for Noa and her father. The weight of all they have been through will probably bear down all the more.

I agree so sad.

Thank you for this new thread.

Bring them all home. Too many days.

My heart goes out to the hostage families who do not know if their loved ones are alive or dead. I hope they know that many of us have not forgotten them.

The blame for this horror lies with hamas.

120 hostages still held?

Message a couple of days ago urging release of them.

Does anybody lnow exactly how many hostages may be still alive?

@keenforhelp I understood 150. But not sure which individuals are still alive.

Ok, so there is still some hope. One of.my best friends cousin was reported deceased early in the conflict. So close to home

I'm sorry to hear that.

There is news of peace talks again today.

I'm sorry to hear that. May they rest in peace and may those responsible be brought to justice.

Thank you . That means a lot.

Been seeing reports all day (not on msm) that a hostage has been murdered by Hamas. I have not seen this on MSM anywhere, which is strange.

9 months 💔

It’s beyond comprehension
9 months now
I have not forgotten them but much of the world seems to have
🎗️

Not really strange as MSM is unsympathetic to the plight of the hostages 😢

Update from the BBC a few days ago listing hostages held

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67053011

Those 9 months feel like both a heartbeat and an eternity. We must not forget them, and we will not forget them.

So little is mentioned about these poor people.
Where is the outrage? Where are the demonstrations?

‘Not at Our Loved Ones' Expense'

Tens of Thousands of Israelis Demand Hostage Deal Amid Fears Gaza Attacks Risk Truce

Families of hostages arrived in Jerusalem on the fourth day of a march, while protests were also held in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Caesarea and various other locations

Tens of thousands Israelis demonstrated across the country against the government and in favor of a hostage deal on Saturday, while families of hostages and supporters arrived in Jerusalem on the fourth day of a march from Tel Aviv. The protesters in Jerusalem assembled in front of the Prime Minister's Office, while thousands demonstrated in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Caesarea, and locations in the north.

I meant outside Israel.

I still remember seeing the posters being ripped down. That was before any kind of Israeli military action.

The calls for a ceasefire are not just about no more bombing of Palestinians, but for getting hostages out while they are still alive.

Fabulous.
Forgive me if I missed all of those chants during the Palestinian Marches.
